Stop and use your hand to force him to sit. Do this over and over (keep going outside and coming in again) Then make sure that you completely ignore him unless he is sitting.

There is no such thing as a dog that is too old to be taught to behave. It will be more difficult, because if you start when they are puppies, you can instill good habits before bad habits appear. At three years old, your pom has 3 years of it being okay (to her at least) to jump on other people, so you have quite a bit of negetive habits ingrained in her, but it is NOT impossible...Dogs are quite adaptable.
They key is consitancy...absolutle 100% consitancy. When your pom jumps on you the first time, you tell her no...the second time, you CALMLY remove her from the area you and other people are in. Eventually you send a message that when she does that, she is not welcome into the social circle. That will begin to break the bad habit. On the other hand, at the same time, when she is sitting calmly at your feet or in your lap, praise her lavishly, give her treats and lots of attention. Eventually she will begin to make the connection between "If I act like this, I get lots of attention and love from my master...but if I act like THAT, my master will not give me attention..." She won't string it together that coherently...but you get the picture...she will begin to understand.
It will take time, lots of patience, and a ton of dedicated consistancy, but you little pom can learn her manners.
Side note, when she jumps on you, don't yell and make a fuss...if she gets that kind of reaction from you, she will see it as attention from you. Firmly say No! the first time. The second time, lean over, scoop her up, and take her out of the situation, (holding her away from your body if you can.)
It will work...over time, and you have to be consitant every single time.

I don't know if this will work since he is already 3 years old, but what we did to train our dog was every time he barked or jumped on people we'd say "No" and then spray water in his face. He didn't like that much and after enough times he figured out that barking and jumping on people are not allowed.

My american eskimo is the same way, right now putting her on a leash hleps when others people are coming over, and the water bottle seems to work as well, just keep it handy, i keep my dog in her crate if i am out for a bit, or in a fenced in yard, that lets us get in the haouse without her bouncing on us and it keeps her safer than running about getting into trouble.

Irish's answer above is right on. I would just add one other reason to not correct her (yelling, spraying with water, pretending you are going to hit her[!]) - she may believe that she is getting in trouble for being friendly. That's a terrible message to give a dog. She just needs to learn how to politely greet people - ignoring rowdy behavior and giving attention for appropriate behavior will get the correct message across, and quite easily, too.

Well 3 years old is gettin old, but what I would do is firmly say down! And make sure everyone in your family says it if it jumps up. Then if that doesn't work. When it jumps up say down and push on it's chest with your hand or knee.

he's doing it to get interest. you will desire to ignore approximately it (do no longer react, no longer certainly like ignore style ignore approximately) and advantages him while he deals together with his anger in a marvelous way. additionally, do you many times react bodily to issues? He could be discovering the agressive habit from an grownup on your loved ones and is mimicking in hopes that folk will word and make him end. My son went by this degree at approximately 34 months. at first we'd grab his hand and tell him "No, you will harm your self" yet then we found out he did it for interest. Then we began to in basic terms act like no longer something had befell and he outgrew it while he found out that he did no longer get anymore interest from hitting than he did from no longer hitting.
